Happy New Year , Ring in Obamacare

Expectations for the Future of Healthcare

1. Older doctors will retire early fed up with the system. These older doctors feel that the loss of a patient-physician relationship and the burdensome regulations (ie. paperwork) will choke off their ability to provide good care. In addition, their expenses are increasing with these new regulations. Add in the projected cuts in reimbursement up to 26%, and their livelihood will be threatened. These cuts could force these doctors out of practice or force them to stop seeing Medicare patients simply because their expenses (which rise yearly) are exceeding their declining reimbursement, which has declined steadily over the past several years already.

2. Young smart minds will no longer enter the field. This is due to rising debt (average $250,000 after medical school) and severe cuts in reimbursement (yearly threats of 26% cuts to reimbursement). If young college students realize that they cannot provide for a family despite going to school and training for 14 years, deferring income for all those years, and then being slapped with a $250,000 medical school bill, they will turn to different professions.

3. Current younger doctors will become more demoralized by administration and lawmakers dictating how they provide care. They will feel as if they are increasingly being treated as machines, expecting to provide great care such as answering patient calls at 2am, working 24 hours shifts, doing more procedures for less, and filling out more and more paperwork, all with the threat of getting sued if they don’t perform without making a mistake. This will produce a high burnout rate and poorer care.

The young Progressives today will believe anything that supports their ignorant agenda, and that is anything that they may get for nothing.. Thats why they voted for Obama and that’s why they RE-ELECTED him.

And morons like you would rather to go back to a time before the ACA where they watch a family member die a slow death due to denial of treatment by insurance companies. Or watch a neighbor have to sell their house to pay for expenses of a sick child. You just don't think, do you?

Ring in Obamacare . My mom already experienced a 3rd rate doctor under Medicare even though she has BlueCross as her secondary they go by her Medicare which is her primaryShe needed a neurologist and many specialists are not taking Medicare. Everything we have been saying is coming to fruission

And you call yourself RALPH at Mike's America now, hoping you would go undetected, eh Pookie Toot-Toot? You underestimated mystere catching you red handed. In fact, when he called me, he couldn't stop laughing at you.

And my company's insurance went up alot for the premiums,not to mention the higher copays and deductibles They sent a company wide e-mail explaining the reason for the increases was due to taxes and penalties caused by the ACA

Also a friend of mine goes to Sloan Kettering only because she already was going there but she was told she would not have been able to go there now since her company's cost went up so much that they wete forced to put everyone in an HMO ,plus she has 2 go 2 the ER twice with 1000.00 copays each time . But hey someone else can get it for free . FYI she still cannot afford those 2 bills. So glad the dems are looking out for the working poor

Please explain why you think there is direct causation between the ACA and rising medical costs.

If you had been listening to leftists you would realize their complaint is that nothing in the bill contains costs. Therefore you are at the mercy of for profit insurance companies.

Now, as for this nonsense about "someone else getting it for free".The always have. Expensive emergency room care at that.Now many who had no insurance must purchase it which lowers hospital costs although that won't be passed through.

Ducky there are alot of regulations that the insurance companies have to follow so to reduce their costs they are charging more and reducing care and are penalizing Dr's for sending patients,mainly medicare patients to specialists .The people who didn't have insurance still won't. Many of them don't file income taxes and others will just pay the fine

You'd prefer the taxpayers pick up the tab for someone's Emergency Room visit like before? Your post is BS though, straight out of wingnut media.

Would you prefer to go back to a time (just a few years ago) where you'd watch a family member die becasue insurance companies denied treatment or cancelled plans? Would you rather have to hold a spaghetti dinner at the local VFW so you don't have to sell your house to pay for treatment of a loved one?

Look my friends, we ALL know that "Ducky" is here just and only JUST to cause arguments and trouble . So my point is, why do you bother to even answer his bull-shit?Ignore him s as you would the Queen of RE-gressive , aka progressive.

These poor Republicans are always being misunderstood. Their innocent words are always taken out of context. They really didn't mean to offend with that picture of President Obama with a bone in his nose. They just didn't know that a group associated with David Duke was a neo-Nazi racist organization. They just had a wide stance in that airport bathroom. They didn't know it was illegal to send their maid out to score Oxy. The poor things are clearly the unluckiest people in the world. Those poor dumb bastards didn’t realize that when they posted pictures of a Gorilla that resembles Michelle Obama that it was racist! Well I guess that these freaken Rightwing Tbagers are too dam stupid to realize it! Who knew it!The word “stupid” has a broad range of applications, but it generally means a person lacks rudimentary intelligence or the ability to reason. It can also imply a congenital lack of capacity for reasoning, or a permanent state of daze or slow-mindedness. However one defines or applies the word stupid, they can hardly think of the word without directly relating it to Republican supporters; especially those who are not part of the wealthiest one-percent of income earners. Stupidity is still Prevalent

Maybe “with God’s help” Jeb Bush will step in and help our country from becoming a Third World Nation!! I sure as hell hope so.

Heh, I didn't think you be able to explain in your own words. They really shouldn't give blogs to every idiot out there, lol! I Googled it and all you get are links to right wing sites.

Bush killed the economy with three wars unpaid for, more tax cuts for the wealthy, unpaid for and Medicaid Part D, unpaid for.

Obama has created more jobs than Bush, shown economic growth every month, cut deficit spending back to 1950 levels, unemployment dropped to 6%, auto industry saved and depression thwarted with the Stimulus (even though the GOP Congress cut it in half).

The GOP have offered no bills. Zero. And they have vetoed or filibustered every Dem sponsored Jobs Bills.

You know, your petroleum wardrobe will make you even more flammable where you shall spend eternity. That means forever...and ever...and ever...and ever... I could say that gives me no pleasure - but I don't tell lies.

Given where you're going I think the moniker"Sparky" would better fit you! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

Looks like the door did more then just hit Harry Reid in the ass when he had to leave the Majority Leaders office.

Creepy dingy Harry spent the night in a Las Vegas hospital with a couple broken ribs and facial injuries.....he said it was an accident while exercising.....,I think it was an accident with a bottle of Gray Goose Vodka

Most people like a certain kind of clothes. Rusty wears Ralph Lauren,about 90% of my clothes have that little pony on them,from socks to boxers to outer wear.Other guys like Hugo Boss or Armani or Nordstrom.

Is it because the few left there as readers and or commenters are dropping off like Flies sprayed with DDT?

Why is it that Liberals are 'Never Happy' the few who are remaining enthusiasts like “Ducky” and Rational Nation” seem to be just idiots who stick around only to ditto the author.. The must be a name for people like that. Is it strange that the Obama administration has so few fans left.. And that the Progressive blogger has even fewer?

I Like Sarah Palin. So Sue me! There are a lot of people who like Sarah Palin, and there are obviously a lot of people that don’t. And this is very true with most politicians. So why is it that the Progressive BUNCH, find it so necessary to make fun of Sarah Palin? Are they that void of topics?

Why is it that Hillary Clinton’s dumb-assed Daughter is off-limits and the Palin girls are always the topic of jokes and harassment to the progressives?

OK lets deflect and change the topic and try to get you off of Sarah Palin for a minute or two, by throwing Hillary into the mix. Yes, Hillary is a very good liar, and obviously America wants to put a liar in the White House once again... And I don’t know why, or what is wrong with the American voter, but it is what it is!

The Wicked Queen of the Progressive blogger’s seems to have given Ms. Palin the title of “Quitter”.. Yet she never address’s Hillary as a “Quitter” It seems to me that Sarah quit to save her state. HILLARY QUIT TO SAVE HERSELF! And to the Progressive IDIOT’S that just fine, it just Peachy Cream and A-OK. Hillary is the jackass that went to a nursing home with that PHONEY Brain Injury, after Benghazi so that she wouldn’t be arrested. Perhaps she should have had an lobotomy right then and there. Hillary Clinton should not be a president or vice president, or Dog Catcher.

Hillary Clinton may have “misspoke” when she said she anf her Lying daughter Chelsea had to duck sniper fire when she was visiting Bosnia in 1996 as first lady, but the word “misspoke” should have been replaced with the word “LIED”! Misspoke? I think not…Hillary flat out LIED.And by the way, since then she never stopped “Misspeaking.”!

Thank goodness liberals are consistent in refusing to apply double standards, thanks to their disdain for hypocrisy, or they’d have nothing else to talk, blog or write about. In their blind eyes, the country is just doing swell under the Obama regime, which includes the ZOO that represents the cabinet members.

As for Sarah Palin, yes, I know that a lot of people hate her with an unyielding, unreasonable and deep seated visceral hatred that is a true psychological phenomenon. Sarah Palin knows this and deals with it. I personally find it most fascinating to watch the consistency with which the left dives forward with piranha teeth in full bare and war juices flowing at the very sight of her, the very mention of her name.. the left STILL hates her. And yet she still has a huge following. And lets not forget she's not a snobby, LYING, stuck up UGLY piece of wax like the women the Democrat party want to elect for president!So I ask you, Is that want you want for your next President? I don’t know who’s worse, Hilldabeast, Valarie Jarrett or Obies wife Moochelle?

I hate to pop the Progressive bubble, but I am absolutely sure, far beyond any shadow of a doubt, that the poor, misunderstood UN-armed 6'5" gentile giant Michael Brown was simply just standing there with his friend praying the rosary when all of a sudden, this bad policeman just pulled up and bang !, shot and killed him for no reason what so ever !! oh, yeah, that is just the way it went down. Don't you all agree ?

It amazes me how seemingly some educated people become blind sided by their own political perception. The fact that the un-armed 6'5" gentile giant was "unarmed, which has been repeated over and over an over again, has NOTHING to do with what happened. If some idiot tries to GRAB YOUR GUN, and succeeds then he would be “armed”. And then one of those two people is always gonna wind up dead. Anyone, police officer or not, would have done the same thing in that situation, I know that I would.And to add to the FACTS, he was not a gentile giant. He was just another big black criminal using violence, to immediate and bullying to get what he wanted.

With what has been reported in the media these past few weeks and months has been a issue for years. If you don't understand there is a problem in this country with SOME police and black Americans that needs to be addressed, you're ridiculously stupid haters.

LOL! The ACA is going to create a lot of jobs, some of them high paying, as in medicine. It's funny though - you guys just all of a sudden forgot how markets work when it comes to your Obamacare derangement syndrome.

Thank you and Happy New Year Lisa, thank you for you insight, and your courage, and fortitude. And let me say that I tend to agree with you, I would say there isn't a breathe of daylight between the two parties, I guess it’s because the Liberal/Progressives are much too stupid to understand the threat that Obama has brought to our country and all they can see is a Black man who broke the color barrier and became the president. Well Goody- Goody for him, but what they don’t see is that a Marxist has become the most powerful man in the word. And the damage that he has done to America by wiping his feet all over our Construction. Also, never underestimate how dumbed down the public is. The glimmer of Hope is that Congress is now going to be controlled by the GOP, meaning that the economy may be improving, and by the results of the November election when the Democrats got shellacked, millions of Americans are no longer being fooled by Obama. Yes we still are going to have this FAILURE as our President for two more years, and I know that two years sounds like a long time, but he will be gone by January 20, 2017 when a new President takes the oath of office that he has ignored.America has finally awoken to the fact that the left's message is nothing more than invitation for the parasites to feed off of hard working American people. One prediction about him is easy. He will be judged the worst President the nation has had and, in fact, that judgment has already been rendered. Lets just hope that the dumbed down public won’t be fooled again and vote that lying PIG Hillary to fill the chair of a Marxist dictatorship. The Obama presidency has been and is a disaster. I FOR ONE AM SICK OF these Progressive MORON’S calling me and you racist’s because we feel that this president is a complete failure. But as we know, calling any criticism of Obama racist’. "Racism" seems to be their number one weapon! I think that’s all they have. They're a bunch of wackadoos, especially the author of that progressive blog that hey all seem to love and cling to..And all of these Jokers Know it, but they cling to her like flies cling to horse manure. It takes NO great Magician to predict that Barack Hussein Obama will spend his remaining two years in office doing what he does best, stir as much racial divisiveness as possible, encourage more illegal immigration, keep his unpopular ObamaCare alive, degrade our military, and other things that his Communist roots and ideology has trained him to do!Everything coming out of the Progressive Blog seems to me to be just muddled gibberish, and insulting garbage including the lies and other garbage from the one who writes it.

The Racist Conservitives/Repubs have zero respect for our President or the office of the Presidency. But nothing but friendship, pride, and kinship toward white supremacist groups.This is not surprising coming from the political party that routinely insulted and still insults our first bi-racial president and his family, starting with their non-stop demands to see President Obama's birth certificate, something no other president has had to endure. While they piously claim to not hold any racial prejudices (it's only President Obama's policies they're against, you see), they continue to get caught sharing filthy racist photo shopped images of Mr. and Mrs. Obama, as well as disgusting racist jokes and slurs. In our own little circle of blogging acquaintances, Lisa's blog, otherwise known as the Smut Hut, regularly hosts low-lifes who make fun of Malia and Sasha, and the First Lady with racial smears and slander.

These bottom-feeders may not be the majority, but they are very welcome in the GOP and are very comfortable in maligning and defaming the POTUS and FLOTUS. But they never miss a Sunday when they show off to their followers what exceptionally devout and humble Christianists they are.

As I said, if nothing else, these Party Nazis lovers are consistent in loving the malice and ugly racism they wallow in on a daily basis. If you need any examples that Tea Partiers are pro-gun, middle-American, white supremacists., just read Glenn Beck's Blaze website, or the Smut-Hut aka “Who's Your Daddy”
